overview
What is Mr. Wakefield's Crusade about?
Darkly comic murder mystery adapted from a novel by Booker Prize-winning author Bernice Rubens. Luke Wakefield is not so much a knight in shining armour as an oddball in a suit. And his crusade is more of a "who ami" than a "whodunit". It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct United Kingdom style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Angela Pope. With a runtime of 2h 30m, it offers an epic cinematic journey.
